What is High-Resolution Audio?

High-Resolution Audio refers to a collection of digital processes allowing the encoding and playback of music using higher sampling rates than those used in CDs.

Optimised playback

Precise, full-range sound

Maximum sound, minimum space. The coaxial speaker design combines a woofer and tweeter in a single two-way speaker unit to deliver a wide range of low and high-end tones. Working in unison with the built-in subwoofers, this enables the HT-XT3 to reproduce full-frequency sound in High-Resolution detail.
